Detailed Solution: Question 1

The iron obtained from blast furnace is pig iron with carbon and impurities like Mn etc., in small amount.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 2

Froth flotation process is based on

Detailed Solution: Question 2

This method is based upon the fact that the surface of sulphide over is preferentially wetted by oils while that of gangue is preferentially wetted by water.

Detailed Solution: Question 4


Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 5

Match the items of List-I with those of List-II and choose the correct option given below.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

(A) Calcination For hydrated carbonate or bicarbonate ores ⇒(4) malachite, CuCO3⋅Cu(OH)2
(B) Roasting For sulphide ores ⇒ (1) galena, PbS
(C) Magnetic separation For magnetic ore or gangue ⇒ (2) magnetite, Fe3O4
(D) Carbon reduction of metal oxide It is done is furnaces on application of heat ⇒ (3) pyrometallurgy
The correct matching is (A)-(4), (B)-(1), (C)-(2), (D)-(3)

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 6

Which of the following statements, about the advantage of roasting of sulphide ore before reduction is not true?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

The sulphide ore is roasted to oxide before
reduction because the of most of the sulphides are greater than those of and , therefore neither nor can reduce metal sulphide to metal. Further, the standard free energies of formation of oxide are much less than those of . Hence oxidation of metal sulphides to metal oxide is thermodynamically favourable.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 7

Which one of the following is used to produce by electrolysis?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Molien as elecurolyse, carbon
coated steel vessel cathode, graphite anode is used to produce aluminium (Al) by electrolysis. The process is called Hall's process.
In this process, purified alumina is mixed with or (cryolite or fluorspar), which lowers the melting point of alumina and brings conductivity.
In the electrolytic cell, steel cathode and series of graphite anode are used.
The overall reaction is

The electrolytic reactions are as follows:

At cathode At anode melt melt
The oxygen liberated at anode reacts with the carbon of anode producing and . Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 8

Before introducing in blast furnace , it is converted to by roasting so that

Detailed Solution: Question 8

is capable forming slag with

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 9

Identify the correct statements from the following:
i. In the extraction of and , zinc is used as reducing agent.
ii. Impure zinc can be refined by distillation method.
iii. Malachite is an ore of nickel.

Detailed Solution: Question 9

The explanations of given statements are as follows:
(i) In the extraction of Ag and Au, zinc is used as reducing agent.
2[Ag(CN)2](aq) + Zn(s) ⟶ 2Ag(s) + [Zn(CN)4]2−(aq)
Thus, statement (i) is correct.
(ii) Impure zinc can be refined by the process of distillation.
Thus, statement (ii) is correct.
(iii) Malachite, [Cu2(CO3)(OH)2] is an ore of copper. Thus, statement (iii) is incorrect. Hence, correct option is (d).

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 10

Ellingham diagram is drawn between

Detailed Solution: Question 10

An ellingham diagram is a graph showing the temperature dependence of the stability for compounds. This analysis is usually used to evaluate the ease of reduction of metal oxides and suphides.Ellingham diagram represents change in free energy with temperature.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 11

When a metal is to be extracted from its ore and the gangue associated with the ore is silica, then

Detailed Solution: Question 11

Since silica is acidic impurity the flux must be basic.

CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 12

Which of the following statements is not correct?
1. Reduction of alumina to give aluminium by magnesium is thermodynamically feasible.
2. The point of intersection of and curves in Ellingham diagram is below .
3. Use of magnesium as reducing agent in metallurgy of aluminium is economical.
4. Ellingham diagram represents the graphical plot of Gibbs energy vs temperature for the formation of the oxides of common metals and reducing agents.

Detailed Solution: Question 12

According to the Ellingham's principle and its diagram, statements, 1, 2 and 4 are correct. But, use of magnesium as reducing agent in metallurgy of aluminium is uneconomical. So, statement 3 is not correct.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 13

Which of the following examples is not correctly matched?

Detailed Solution: Question 13

The metals and occur only in combined state, as these metals are available in nature mostly in the form of sulphide and oxides respectively.
and occur in both native and combined state.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 14

Froth floatation process is used for the metallurgy of

Detailed Solution: Question 14

Froth floatation process is used for the concentration of sulphide ores.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 15

Which of the following metal is leached by cyanide process

Detailed Solution: Question 15

Ag is leached by cyanide process.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 16

Sulphide ores of metals are usually concentrated by froth flotation process. Which one of the following sulphide ores offer an exception and is concentrated by chemical leaching?

Detailed Solution: Question 16

Leaching is the selective dissolution of the desired mineral leaving behind the impurities in a suitable dissolving agent e.g., Argentitie or Silver glance, is an ore of silver. Silver is extracted from argentite by the mac-Arthur and Forest process (leaching process).


Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 17

One of the processes used for concentration of ores is Froth floatation process. This process is generally used for concentration of sulphide ores. Sometimes in this process we add as a depressant. is generally added in case of and PbS minerals. What is the purpose of addition of NaCN during the process of Froth floatation ?

Detailed Solution: Question 17


Soluble complex
A layer of this zinc complex is formed on the surface of and due to this is prevented from the froth formation while PbS form froth.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 18

Which of the following statements is not correct?
(i) Froth-floatation is used for removing gangue from sulphide ore.
(ii) Cresols are used to stabilise the froth.
(iii) Sodium cyanide can be used as depressant for preferential separation.
(iv) Aniline can be used as froth enhancer.

Detailed Solution: Question 18

Froth-flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste water. Aniline or cresols are added to stabilise the froth, not for froth enhancer. Hence, the correct option is (4).

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 19

Which of the following reactions is an example for calcination process?

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Decomposition of carbonates and hydrated oxides.

Test: Concentration of the Ore - Question 20

Which one of the following statements is true about the froth flotation method?

Detailed Solution: Question 20

(a) This principle is valid for magnetic separation.
(b) This principle is valid for gravity separation.
(d) It is possible by froth flotation method.
(c) So, option (c) is the correct principle associated with froth flotation method.
